History and Origin of Blondies
Blondies, also known as blonde brownies, have their roots in American cuisine, specifically as a delicious variant of traditional chocolate brownies. Unlike classic brownies, blondies do not contain cocoa or chocolate in the base batter, which gives them that golden color and a flavor closer to caramel or vanilla. Their origin dates back to the early 20th century in the United States, and since then they have gained popularity in many parts of the world.
In Latin America, although traditional brownies are the most common, blondies are known and enjoyed under similar names. For example, in Mexico and Argentina they are usually called "blondies" to highlight their difference from dark brownies, while in other countries they may also be called blonde brownies or vanilla brownies. Their thick texture and sweet flavor make them an attractive option for those looking for a different but equally irresistible dessert.
This type of brownie is characterized by its softness and the integration of ingredients such as chocolate chunks, nuts, or chips that enhance its flavor and texture, making every bite a comforting and homemade experience.
